CHAPTER 6.1 KEY SITES

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objectives of this Chapter

The principal aim of this Chapter is to provide an overall land use structure and policy framework for the

preparation of a site specific DCP Chapter and Masterplan for each of the Key Sites to which the LEP applies.

The specific objectives of this Chapter are:

To provide appropriate controls and incentives to attract investment within Wyong Shire on the

specified Key Sites

To ensure development promotes design excellence through high quality, visually attractive

architectural design, consistent with the principles of ecologically sustainable development

To incorporate a well-designed, safe and active public domain within the development concept to

contribute to the wellbeing of the community

To promote the integration of economic, social and ecological sustainability principles into

development to encourage vibrant and liveable communities and ensure the future health of the local

environment

To engage and inform the community on future development opportunities and challenges for each

Key Site

To facilitate the orderly and economic development of the land with increased density of land use and

other developer bonuses

To promote employment generation within Wyong Shire through an improvement of the built

environment and public domain

To encourage development that is easily accessible by walking, cycling and public transport, that

contributes to the efficiency of these modes and facilitates the use of transport modes other than the

private car

To ensure that the land is adequately serviced

To integrate a range of recreation, sporting, cultural, leisure and social activities within high quality

spaces and places

To ensure that any development on the land complies with Safer by Design principles, together with

principles of water sensitive urban design and energy efficient design




1.2 Land to which this Chapter Applies

This Chapter applies to the ‘Iconic Development’ of an identified Key Site within Wyong Shire, in accordance

with the WLEP 2013, Clause 7.11, and the Key Sites Map.

Iconic Development is development that utilises a system of developer bonuses, whereby additional heights

and increased density may be achieved if the specific criteria relating to design quality and design excellence

are met. In return, improvements to the public domain must be undertaken including the embellishment of

public spaces, increased landscaped areas, establishment of public art, etc.

1.3 Relationship to Other Chapters and Policies

In the event of an inconsistency between this Chapter and the provisions of the WLEP 2013, the provisions of

the LEP shall prevail.

This Chapter should be read in conjunction with other relevant DCP Chapters and Council Policies (including

relevant section 94 and 94A plans) which may apply to the Key Site, in particular:

Chapter 2.4 – Multiple Dwelling Residential Development

Chapter 2.6 – Signage

Chapter 2.11 – Parking and Access

Chapter 3.6 – Tree and Vegetation Management

Chapter 3.7 – Heritage Conservation

Chapter 5.1 – Retail Centres

Chapter 5.2 – Wyong Town Centre

Chapter 5.3 – The Entrance Peninsula

Where there is any inconsistency between this Chapter and those listed above, the provisions of this Chapter

shall prevail.

1.4 Relationship to Planning Strategies

A number of the Key Sites are subject to Council’s adopted planning strategies, being The Entrance Peninsula

Planning Strategy (TEPPS), Wyong Tuggerah Planning Strategy (WTPS) and the Toukley Planning Strategy

(TPS). The strategies outline Council and the community’s vision for the development and growth of these

Centres. All development concepts for the Key Sites shall address the objectives and recommendations

contained within the Strategies, where relevant.

2.0 GENERIC DEVELOPMENT CONTROLS

A site specific DCP Chapter and Masterplan shall be developed, in conjunction with Council, for each Key Site.

The criteria below outline the matters to be addressed within these documents.

Development and design guiding principles will assist the Council, the community and developers, to identify

and assess development proposals that contribute to the realisation of Council and the community’s visions

for Wyong Shire. The guiding principles identified below shall be regarded as essential generic performance

criteria in the preparation of Iconic Development concepts for each Key Site.

2.1 Design Excellence

Iconic Development of a Key Site is required to demonstrate Design Excellence. Design Excellence

incorporates expertise in many areas – architecture, urban design, landscape design, interior design, art,

engineering, historic preservation, construction, security and sustainability. Design Excellence is about using

this expertise to deliver developments that are exceptional – buildings that stand out from their surroundings

and which other developments seek to emulate.

Design Excellence is evident in developments that push the envelope of design to enhance the community’s

quality of life, including amenity and aesthetics, promoting social inclusion. This is demonstrated in well-

designed public domains that are carefully integrated with modern architecture of award winning standard.

Key Site development is required to not only meet the requirements of Good Design, as specified in Section

2.2 below, but shall also demonstrate superior merit.

OBJECTIVES

To achieve Design Excellence for Iconic Development of each Key Site

To promote use of innovative design solutions that achieve high quality buildings and spaces that fit

sensitively into the streetscape

To encourage development design that reflects an innovative and imaginative use of space, form and

materials




REQUIREMENTS

a Identify in the Masterplan, through statements or annotated drawings, how Design Excellence will be

achieved in the proposed development. Design Excellence can be evident in the architecture, the

features of the development, environmental performance, site planning, landscape design, interior

design, construction, use of materials, and the like.

b List the main features of the proposal that demonstrate Design Excellence.

2.2 Design Quality

Good design has consideration of ten (10) Design Quality Principles. These Principles are identified as criteria

in various statutory documents, for example the State Environmental Planning Policy No 65 – Design Quality

2.3 Green Building Design

A Green Building or Sustainable Building is defined as a building that incorporates design, construction and

operational practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of development on the

environment and its occupants. This includes strategies for addressing:

energy efficiency;

greenhouse gas emission abatement;

water conservation;

waste avoidance, reuse and recycling;

pollution prevention – noise, water, air, soil and light;

enhanced biodiversity;

reduced natural resource consumption;

productive and healthier environments; and

flexible and adaptable spaces.

Council is committed to creating an environmentally sustainable Shire. Significant opportunities exist to

improve the sustainability of Wyong Shire through development of sustainable buildings on Key Sites within

their design, construction and ongoing operation. It is important that sustainability initiatives are included

and considered at the earliest stage of planning and design of a development, and relate to the whole of the

life of the development from design to construction to operation.

OBJECTIVE

To achieve Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) in the design, construction and operation of

buildings on the Key Sites

REQUIREMENTS

a Identify in the Masterplan how Green Building Design will be achieved in the development. As a

minimum, development proposals for Iconic Development on the Key Sites shall address stormwater

management and at least three (3) other ESD principles, as identified below:

i energy efficiency;

ii water resources;

iii indoor environment quality;

iv stormwater management (essential);

v building materials;

p Design buildings and spaces that allow for passive surveillance of public areas with improved safety

that can promote user confidence, leading to higher pedestrian activity and improved economic

viability.

q Clearly define where private and public spaces meet to make ownership clear and promote the safety

of all users. This can be achieved by designing fences and walls which provide privacy and security

while not eliminating view, outlook, light, and air. Retaining walls along the street frontage shall be

restricted in height and length.

r The public domain must be easy to maintain to ensure it is kept attractive and user friendly.

2.11 Other Public Benefits

The Key Sites have been chosen on their ability to provide significant benefits to the community in return for

bonus development potential and to stimulate the further development, vitality and viability of centres in

Wyong Shire. In addition to public domain improvements, Iconic Development of the Key Sites could also

provide other public benefits such as affordable housing, community facilities, asset maintenance and

management, providing piazzas/civic spaces, open space, landscaping, pedestrian paths/cycleways/links,

additional public carparking, etc.

A list of potential public benefits that could be provided within Wyong Shire is outlined in Appendix A. The

list should be referenced when considering what types of public benefit to provide as part of the Iconic

Development of a Key Site, in accordance with cl. 7.11 of the WLEP, 2013.

OBJECTIVE

To facilitate the provision of public domain improvements and other public benefits through iconic

development of the key sites

REQUIREMENTS

a The Masterplan and site specific DCP for each Key Site must provide a detailed proposal for significant

public benefit. Such public benefit will be in addition to any development contributions levied in

accordance with an adopted Section 94 or Section 94A contribution plan.

b The following criteria must be satisfied prior to the granting of development consent:

i A contributions plan must apply to the land, or an appropriate Voluntary Planning Agreement

has been entered into in respect to the development of the land; and

ii Any consent granted must be subject to a condition that requires developer contributions

having a value no less than the public benefit value (“PB”) calculated in accordance with the

following formula: PB = (s.94 x PBR), where:

s.94 is the value of s.94 contributions generated, excluding any contribution for carparking; and

PBR is the Public Benefit Ratio, which is:

2.0, where the maximum height of the development exceeds 70 metres or the ratio of the

height of the development to the maximum height that would be permitted under cl. 4.3 of

the WLEP, 2013, is equal to or greater than 3.0; or

1.5 in all other circumstances.




3.0 KEY SITES

The major development issues for each Key Site are identified below. All site specific requirements must be

adequately addressed, in consultation with Council, within the Masterplan and site specific DCP for each Key

Site. This Section further outlines the nature of the public benefit that should be explored in the preparation

is to be accompanied by a detailed Masterplan and site specific DCP Chapter which considers the design

aspects identified within this document. It shall include a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) and Transport

Management Plan (TMP) that provides for carparking and associated infrastructure.

A Masterplan is a document consisting of written information, maps and diagrams that outlines proposals for

development of the land. A Masterplan will mean different things depending on the location, size, context

and nature of the site.

A Masterplan will establish a framework combining aims, policy and standards needed to carry the vision for

the site or locality. The Masterplan will include urban design as well as spatial geography and will address

the existing site constraints and opportunities. For Key Sites the Masterplan shall consider how the proposal

relates and contributes to the local context. As a minimum a Masterplan shall address the following:

site constraints;

urban design and visual impact;

public domain including landscaping and ‘hard-scaping’;

pedestrian movement;




traffic, transport, access and vehicle parking;

proposed future uses;

relationship to surrounding existing and potential future uses;

ESD Principles;

safety, accessibility and ‘Healthy by Design’ principles;

amenity impacts for future residents and users and upon surrounding property;

opportunities for public art and passive recreation;

impact upon existing public infrastructure and future needs;

existing physical and environmental constraints and management measures;

economic and social impacts and benefits;

significant public benefit.

costs of development:

costs;

land cost;

construction cost;

demolition cost;

professional fees;

council fees (including developer contributions);

holding costs;

public benefit costs.

The Economic Feasibility Study is to include a ‘Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and be expressed in terms of

the ‘Net Present Value’. The study should examine the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed

development, along with the opportunities and threats presented by the subject site, the resources required

to construct and operate the development, and ultimately the development’s prospects for success.
